Statement from the CEO
“Closing of the DOF Denmark transaction during Q4 marks a significant milestone in DOF’s history. Not only do we add 22 high-end vessels to the DOF fleet, but also the competence and experience of new colleagues. Together we will benefit from increased scale, capabilities and reach and continue to deliver world-class offshore and subsea services.
The 4th quarter of 2024 is another quarter of solid performance, and the full-year EBITDA of USD 519 million excluding DOF Denmark and gain on sale of assets ends at the upper end of our guidance. The good result is driven by excellent performance across segments, including a particularly strong EBITDA contribution from the subsea regions of USD 134 million for the full year. DOF Denmark saw some one-off effects related to transits and vessel upgrades that will partly continue into the first half of 2025 before we will be able to fully enjoy the potential of the new additions to the DOF fleet going forward.
I am further pleased to see that the overall backlog and contract coverage in 2025 is strong, and that we continue to build backlog at attractive terms thanks to our world-class organisation with global placing power. The tender activity remains high, as seen in Brazil with multiple ongoing tenders and in general a high activity level among many of our clients.
The refinancing process progress as planned, and we remain confident to conclude it during the 1st quarter of 2025 allowing us to start dividend payments.
The EBITDA guidance for 2025 is in the range of USD 720 – 800 million.”
